User:AnaLamata

I am Ana Lamata, Ph.D. in Contemporary History of Art (Complutense University of Madrid, Spain) and hatmaker. My main field of research has been the conditions of visibility and representation in art, particularly focussed on the resonances between art and science. This investigations were the subject of my Ph.D. and subsequent book, « Superrealists. X-rays and avant-garde art » as well as of several academic papers and lectures. My other main field of interest is the cultural history of textiles and, particularly, of headdresses, which led me to apprentice the craft of hatmaking under the guidance of Ms Rose Cory, hatmaker to the late Queen Mother of England, Queen Elizabeth and, since 2014, to become a professional hatmaker as well.
